This datapack alters the breeding mechanism of horses, donkeys and mules so that each stat (health/speed/jump strength) of the foal is calculated from a random distribution centered on the average of the two parents, meaning that the foal on average will resemble its parents.
With the current breeding mechanism in Minecraft, each stat of the foal is calculated as an average between the two parents + a random (often terrible) horse. Because of the random horse, if your horses are just somewhat decent, you will have a very hard time breeding a better horse, and most often will end up with a worse horse...
With this datapack, there is instead equal chances of getting a better or a worse horse than the average of the parents. If the stats of the parents are far apart, the stat of the foal can deviate more from the average (for better or worse).
Similarly, if the parents are somewhat average, the random deviation can be larger as well. This makes breeding a bit easier going from average -> good, but harder going from good -> great.
The calculated stats of the foal are capped at the vanilla minimum/maximum values for wild horses, while donkeys are capped at slightly smaller values.
Example 1 (~average stats):
- Mother's health (hearts): 10.0
- Father's health (hearts): 13.0
- Foal's health can be anywhere between 8.5 - 14.5, but more likely between 10.0 - 13.0 (since the random distribution is not uniform but "triangular" with the center values being more likely)
Example 2 (good stats):
- Mother's health (hearts): 14.0
- Father's health (hearts): 14.0
- Foal's health: anywhere between 13.05 - 14.95, but more likely between 13.5 - 14.5
Installation:
- Download the .zip file and place it inside the datapacks folder in your world save.
- Start breeding your new Superhorse!

also, I can't ride underwater without drowning, and it'd be a pain to navigate
I got a perfect horse and after try with donkeys but I got stuck and discorver that you capped them XD I wonder why you did that^^
In any case thanks for the datapack
I have already built several stables and am starting to breed horses of purebreds - white, black, and other specific races in an attempt to breed a horse with better characteristics.
So I had a question, what are the differences between your package and the vanilla game? Have you increased the chance of getting a better horse? That is, for example, if a horse with a characteristic of 14+ is a horse with a characteristic of 14, then in a vanilla game the chances of getting a horse with characteristics from 13.5-14.5.
What's your ratio?
In vanilla:
If both parents have 14.00 hearts in health, the foal will have between 11.83 - 14.33, but more likely between 12.46 - 13.71.
So, in vanilla, the chances are very low to get a horse with better stats.
My datapack:
If both parents have 14.00 hearts in health, the foal will have between 13.05 - 14.95, but more likely between 13.5 - 14.5.
So, now the chances are equal for a better/worse horse.
